To all whom z'tonay concern. ,7

Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. MYERS, citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Composite Stoves; and I do hereby declare the following to be and exact description ofthe inthe arttowhich it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to cooking stoves,

and the novel features thereof are herein-. after described, illustrated inthe accom-;

panying drawings, wherein a single 'embodi; ment is shown, and embraced within the scope of the appended claims.

In theconstruction of the stove as herein described raw products easily obtained in the territory in which the stove is to be used will be converted into a plastic composition, and by the useof templets, a body portion for the stove, including all of the required features of construction for subsequent addition of necessary fittings, may be easily formed. Y

When the body portion has been completed, a fire-box, oven, cover and doorform a complete stove. When considered in the light of an'article used mostly in export trade, it is easily understood how; this re duction of the major portion of the breakable parts produces a-great savingin crating, and expense in shipment, and ellmination of breakage in transportation. Other advantages will be presently explained.

Referring more specifically to the drawings, there is shown a body portion comprising a back wall 10, end walls 11 and 12, front wall 13 and bottom 14. These parts COMPOSITE STOVE.

York and State will preferably bemade of produce the construction which provides for the proper assembly of the fittings furnished for the stove. The end wall 11 has the lower portion shoulder 15. A tends across the upper face of the bottom 14 and this web has its upper edge terminating in a plane on a level with the shoulder 15. This web forms a compartment 17 for the ash pit, and a compartment 18 for the oven.

The front wall has openings formed therein by having extensions 19 and 20 from the forward ends'of the end walls 11 and 12, and by the column 21 rising inv front of the forward end of the web 16.

The fire-box including a metallic container 22, grate 23 pivotally mounted therein, and fire brick 24, is of the stove so that the loweredges of the side wall of the .box 22 rest upon-the shoulder 15 and the upper edge of the web 16. When the fire-box is portion, a space 22 is formed between the adjacent walls of the firebox and body. This space provides for insulation in the form of a dead air space. Asbestosor other insulating material may be placed between the metallic wall 22 and the walls of the body, if desired. v

An oven 25 is placed in the chamber 18 and is provided with a flange 26 formed about the open end thereof to receive fastening means. Another flange 27 rises from the rear upper edge of the oven and a similar flange 28 extends along its rear side, these flanges constituting flue guides which direct the course of the heated air currents across the top of the oven and through the flue formed by the side wall of the oven and the end wall 12. The flue then extends between the bottom of the oven and the top wall of thebottom 14 of the-body where a diagonally disposed guide 29 is'arranged for the purpose of uniformly deflecting the travel'of the-heated air. After passing about the flue guide 29, the air currents are directed rearwardly under the oven and upwardly through theflue 30 formed be.- tween the rear wall of the'oven and, the rear wall of the body. Inthismanner, it. will readily be seen that the force of the draft and the fire travel will confine the heat around and against the metallic parts,
